Trade Opens Brisk, the Weather Excellent,
and the Country Roads Improving.
INDIANAPOLIS. March z.
The spring-lke weather and the improved
condition of the country roads has given new
life to trade in nearly all departments. A large
number of merchants from the cities and towns
which purchase their goods at this point were in
the city to-day. and Meridian street presented
an active appearance In the after part of
the day immense piles Of goods were shipped.
showing that the merchants who were in town
bought with Q good deal Of freedom. With n
few days of sunshine business in all departments
will be at high tide The bulls have again taken
hold OF provisions. and q stronger tone and
higher prices especially in iobbing way. have
resulted. The wool market begins to attract
some attention, and, although no higher prices
are in immediate prospect, the market is healthy
in tone. The Boston Herald says: 1.-THE wool
market continues quiet, and yet judging from
the whole market. it is evident that there has
been more business OF late. Most of the houses
are dull-some remarkably so-but others have
really sold good deal of wool. though in rather
small lots There is no doubt but what manu-
facturers are holding off, chiefly on account of
the unsatisfactory state of the goods market,
but at the same time it is known
that they are in want of WOOL
or must soon be. The volume of
machinery which it is proposed to run is very
large, and it will require an immense volume Of
wool to do Indeed, there are more than
even chances indicated that there is to be ar
other squirt in wool before the time of the new
clip-perhaps even before the new California
| and Texas clips are marketed. It is noted that
such manufacturers have succeeded in get
| ting fair supply of orders in next seasons
| goods are inquiring for wool but they are going
| about 1t in a very conservative fashion. They
| claim that il order to run their machinery at
| all, 1t is absolutely necessary that they buy
wool cheap-cheaper than last year, they claim.
Their labor is costing them more, with other
materials generally dearer."
In groceries prices rule steady and strong on
most staple articles. While the indications are
not toward higher prices, there is a firm tone
which denotes the improbability of decline of
any Importance The steady tone to prices of
late has given more confidence and will result
in more freedom in stocking up with articles
which always good property. Then the
In produce there is no change in prices of inn
portance Eggs are weak with the increasing
arrivals, while poultry rules steady with fair
demand
The local wheat market maintains the strong
position of Saturday. There is an excellent

ton than on Saturday. with prices shade high

however, remained strong that deal of consid-

The Future Of Working-Women.

Mrs. Eliza Putnam Heaton has been
Investigating the employments. wages
and prospects Of wOrking-women in
New York. She finds that women
constitute moro than half the workers
in dry-goods stores, quarter Of the
telegraph operators. about onc-fifth of
the type-setters, and more than half
the type-writers. Women as a rule
seem to make less good photographers
and type-sctters than men. Us good
stenographers. and better type-writers
and dry-goods clerks. Nowhere do
they receive equal pay for equal work.
except where the mems trades unions
have made it a stipulation. and have
been able to carry their point. More
women are employed in dy-goods
stores than in any other line of work
except domestic service. and factory
labor. The conclusion Mrs. Heaton
draws from hor Investigations is that
the general outlook for self-supporting
women in all lines is probably better
than it ever was before. She says:
'.Business habits and attention to
health arc the two great. needs AS a
very bright girl who is earning good
wages puts it: AS fast as we learn to
do something that somebody wants
done. and stop trying to carry the
tlrawing-room into the office. we get

Women and Elections.

The election day comes always with
fresh humiliation to women. Then is
cmphasized anew the fact that the only
aris;ocracy in this country is that of
sex. All men are sOvereigns; all
women are subjects. The Governor of
the State and the two men brought ont

they are all the political superiors of
women. Whatever the good to be
gained. women may not cast vote to
promote il. Whatever the evil to be
prevented. women are powerless to
help avert it. It Is their house that is
ON fire; it il their children who are
burning; but the right to put out the

History OF the Most Famous Sacred Writ

History Of the Most Famous Sacred Writ
ings Now In Existence.
The seven Bibles of the world are
the Koran of the Mohammedans, the
Eddas Of the Scandinavians. the Try
Pitikcs of the Buddhists. the Five
Kings of the Chinese, the three Vedas
Of the HindoOs. the Zendavesta, and
the Scriptures of the Christians. The
Koran is the most recent of these seven
Bibles. and not older than the seventh
century of our era 1t is y compound
of quotations from the Old and New
Testaments. the Talmud, and the
Gospel of St. Barnabas. The Eldas Of
the ScanIinayians were first published
in the fourteenth century. The Pitikes
of the Buddhists contain sublime
morals and pure aspirations. but
their author lived and died in the
sixth century before Christ. There
is nothing of excellence in these
sacred books not found in the Bible.
The sacred writings of the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, king mean
ing web of cloth, or the warp that
keeps the threads in their place. They
contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethico-political duties Of
life. These sayings can not be traced
to a period higher than the eleventh
century B. c. The three Vedas are the
most ancient books of the HindoOs, and
Il - tho o,,;u;op of Nav Miller wilson
johnson and Whitney that they are not
older than eleven centuries B. c. The
Zcndavssta of the Persians is the
grandest of all the sacred books next
to our Bible. ZOroaster, whose sayings
it contains, was born in the twelfth
century B. c. Moses lived and wrote
his Pentateuch fifteen centuries b. C..
and therefore has a clear margin of
three hundred years older than the
most ancient of the other sacred writ

THE RAIN.

The rain the rain. the rain!
It gushed from the skies and streamed
Like awful tears, and the sick man thought
How pitiful it seemed:
And he turned his face away
And stared at the wall again.
His hopes nigh dead and heart worn out,
Oh, the rain. tine rain. the rain.
IN. rain the rain the rain!
And the broad stream STimmed the shores,
And ever the river crept over the reeds
And the roots OF the sycamores;
A corpse sw:rled by IN the drift
Where the boat had snapt its chain
And hoarse-voiced mother shrieked and
rayed
Oh. the rain the rain the RANT
The rain, the rain the rain.
Pouring, with never pause,
Over the fields and the green byways-
How beautiful ii was!
And the Eew-made man and wife
Stood at the window-pane
Like two glad children kept from school.
Oh. the rain the rain the rain.
